Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee held that the road beside Surau Ar-Rahmaniah, Qaryah Lahar Yooi, does not need to be retained. The reasons given were that the new surau is being built on waqf land owned by the Penang Islamic Religious Council and construction had reached 70 percent. The road was also not gazetted, keeping it would require revising the plan and demolishing existing structures, and several alternative roads are available nearby for residents.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
